I've been with my T now for almost 5 years. I quit taking my meds about a month ago and my T has been asking me to please take my meds. I really didn't pay much attention to him thinking he was giving me the normal T thing. But last night he stated that he has depression and is on meds himself. He stated that he was on a med for 7 years and quit taking them because he thought he didn't need them either. He said he was off the med for 3 years and that he got depressed again and had to go back on his med 2 years ago. Then it hit me, he really does understand what I'm talking about, because he's been there as well.
Think that we put our T's into this bubble that their prefect ppl without problems. But sometimes it takes some transference to happen to see that they are just ppl too. If it wasn't for transference then I wouldn't be able to see that T really does understand what I'm saying.
But I'm still unsure about taking me meds. When you feel fine it's hard to remember why your on the meds in the first place. T reminds me I'm feeling well because the the meds are working.
